It's Sunday (Sappy Alert)



It's Sunday. Chris is doing dishes Britton and Carter are playing nicely with Dominos and sweet macie is sleeping and I cannot stop feeling blessed. The last two months of our lives have been so filled with blessings that I can't deny the lords hand in our lives.

I am thankful for our move to New Mexico and I am thankful for how easy our transition has been. The boys mention how they miss certain people in WI but continue to tell me how they love it here. We love our home, and our new ward, and just about everything here (except for the lack of grass and the NM licence plates). We have made so many friends here and know we are in the right place.

I feel blessed to have a husband like Chris who continues to support our family in every way he can. About two weeks after we moved here he and the boys slept out on the trampoline and I heard them outside giggling all night long. I am so glad my boys have a dad that loves to play and be with them.

I am thankful we were able to have Macie here in NM so that Chris could be a part of the delivery. The flights we made for him to go to WI were for the 25th of July and we had her on the 24th and with such a quick delivery he would have not made it.

But most of all I am thankful for a healthy family. I know Macie is healthy because of the many people praying and fasting for her and the priesthood blessing she received. It is amazing to me that we were told by the pediatrician and the person who read the cat scan that she had craniosynostosis. We went to the neurosurgeon to talk treatment plans and then he tells us that she is a perfectly heathy baby, doesn't have craniosynostosis and will not need surgery (I could have told him that she was a perfect baby without a CT scan :)) I am just so thankful.

The last three weeks we have had both my mother-in-law and my mother in town to help out. I am thankful for them for all they have done for our little family and it is great to have such wonderful mothers in my life.

I feel so thankful and have been close to tears because of the many miracles in our life.
